Currently the CSD handles Government of Ghana, Bank of Ghana and COCOBOD securities. The main corporate actions undertaken by the CSD are coupon payments and maturities payments on the above mentioned securities.

All government securities (except a few) are issued on Mondays and mature on Mondays irrespective of the tenor of the securities since Actual/364 day count is applied. Bank of Ghana securities are however issued on Wednesdays and mature on Wednesdays irrespective of the tenor of the securities.

One business day before maturity and interest payment of securities, CSD makes available to Bank of Ghana (BOG) an electronic entitlement schedule which contains all relevant details of the securities holders, including name address and disposal instructions. This is to allow BOG time to do their reconciliation before settlement is done on Monday.

On maturity / interest payment dates, BOG uses the entitlement schedule to make payment of maturity / interest directly to BOG/GOG/COCOBOD securities holders account through their clearing banks.

Payment files are sent to all clearing banks showing the entitlement of clients that are registered with them. In addition to this, payment advices are sent to all depository participants showing the entitlements of their individual Clients accounts.
